Le Landemer

Le Landemer is a small gastronomic hotel-restaurant on the Cotentin coast. The 150-year-old building reopened after complete rehabilitation in 2014, and the hotel was named 2nd best 3-star hotel of France in 2019 (Trivago); the restaurant appears in the Michelin selection. The dining room comprises ten well-spaced tables beneath a glass roof with a panoramic view of the sea; the space is arranged to respect discretion and physical distancing. The kitchen practices a modern, precise style focused on Normandy produce and terroir, working closely with local producers from the coasts, plains, hedgerows and marshes. The team calls cooking only with Norman products a rigorous, curious "terroirist" approach that rewards unexpected discoveries. The restaurant runs a single timed tasting menu in several formats with optional Norman food-and-drink or food-and-wine pairings that spotlight natural wines. Chef Alex Yvon joined Le Landemer in 2020 and is originally from the Loire Valley. Specialties include Promenade (6-stop), Randonnée (8-stop), Norman food & drink pairing (add-on), food-and-wine pairing with natural wines (4 or 6 glasses), and a menu without meat option.
